OK, im about reddy to push my stang off a cliff. I was gunna go pull codes on it, but, i cant drive it anywhere. I've replaced everything in the ignition system except for the ECU. The thing still doesnt get any spark. Please tell me why this is. I've been waiting to run this thing all week. And now I cant.

Some say its the timing, and some say its the brain. I dunno what it is. I cant even start the thing up to get it to a shop...

You can buy a code scanner from autozone for like 15 bux...

I'm not going to search through your old posts to figure out what the original problem was...either link to them or make some cliffnotes.

So your n/a engine quit running and you swapped in the turbo motor before figuring out the original problem (I sure hope not).
